"Music
begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance,
poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from
music."

Likewise,
Art begins to atrophy when it wanders too far from the
human community it is meant to serve, to instruct, to
delight.

I create projects that permit professional arts
organizations, educational institutions, and communities to
work together.
Each component in this collaboration adds its own
particular expertise to the project.
Each component has its own needs, its own energy, its own
brilliance, its own resources.
These components work together, meld, to achieve a
directed, united purpose.
The result is a unified effort, inclusive, supportive.
The end result belongs to everyone.
The pages that follow are a mix of professional,
community-oriented, and community-created work.
